I picked this up for the bookshelf at the old soldiers and sailors' home. Most of us read it years ago--it sold well and was excellent to be turned into a film.
"...not a military history but the story of people: the men of the Allied Forces, the enemy they fought, and the civilians who were caught up in the confusions of the the battle."
The author is justifiably proud of his research. He interviewed participants, carefully identified photos, and was the first to root through some of the German archives.
Note the appendix that offers a list of 'D-Day Veterans--What They Do Today.' The greatest generation!
